The activist group Tomma burar (in English: Empty cages) liberated a salmon from a fish farm in Sweden during the night of August 10th.

Afterwards they left cookies for the workers of the fish farm and phoned the police. They call the salmon Justina after the Latin word "justicia" which means justice. This was Tomma burar's second action.The video below is in Swedish but I think you can follow the course of events.

In the part of Sweden that I live in it's been sunny today. I've spent time on the beach with friends and really enjoying the now. In other words I've had some good times, and now let's have a look at some good news!Here are seven good news for animals!

Jews and Arabs March Together for Veganism and Animal RightsI don't like to divide people into different groups, like "Jews" and "Arabs", but I suppose it can be relevant sometimes like in this case when it comes to cooperation between groups. Well anyhow, in this article The Vegan Woman reports from a march in Haifa, Israel. Read all about it in the link.

More Beets, Less Meat as Vegans Take MoscowThe Moscow Times reports about a vegan wave in the Russian capital. But Moscow isn't the only Russian city that embrace vegan food. From what I've heard St. Petersburg is pretty good too.

Sweden Considers Implementing a ‘Meat Tax’...and back to Sweden! Ecorazzia reports that the Swedish government consider a meat tax to slow the animal meat consumption. To me it sounds like a good plan! Thumbs-up :)
